This wouldn't happen to be for some official marketing usage, could it? (As opposed to being "just" a really excellent commission.)

ALWAYS a big fan of your rendition of DOCTOR STRANGE!

Amazing that someone who drew only one (?) actual issue (not counting the many gorgeous covers) would have such a lasting hold on "ultimate" look of the character (in addition to Michael Golden... another "1-issue" DOC artist).

You (and he) are constantly being sought out for definitive artwork for marketing, merchandise and stuff for Dr. Strange.

And I, for one, am thrilled by that!

I also see that Marvel is releasing the Strange Tales v2 series as a TPB - with your amazing covers.

Any chance on your being tapped for some near-future Doc project? (He asked hopefully...)

You're right. It wasn't my original intention but the final piece is similar enough to Brunner's that I really should add a "After Brunner" line over my signature. Since it was his take on Doc that got me interested in the character in the first place and I always seem to be drawing that specific version of the character, I'd say it's the least I could do.

This is great! I still have a Doctor Strange poster from the 1980s you drew/painted hanging on my wall. One of my favorite artists drawing one of my favorite characters! I'd love to see a Doctor Strange/Deadman story drawn by you.
